Title: Another Insta-collection on eBay Post by: Wempster on February 08, 2013, 10:40:17 AM A man is selling all his games and consoles collected over the past 30 years. He says he has over 6800 games and 330 systems. All my friends were shocked at how many games there were, but we have people with bigger collections right here on the site. Hell you can't even be in the top 10 here without over 5000 games! I don't think he's going to get his asking price of $550,000 but he has included hundreds of pictures to show what the winner would get.

Like 99% of the time someone loses money selling in bulk. Title: Re: Another Insta-collection on eBay Post by: Shadow Kisuragi on February 08, 2013, 04:34:13 PM Are you kidding me.

Title: Re: Another Insta-collection on eBay Post by: Johnny Nintendo on February 08, 2013, 06:40:04 PM I usually sell in bulk at lower prices just to move stuff, so the above statements are very true.
Title: Re: Another Insta-collection on eBay Post by: GamerNick on February 08, 2013, 06:42:14 PM Agreed selling in Bulk like by system & games would probably do him more good than trying to sell and ship everything all at once. But I guess if you have 550,000 to blow you could afford a U-Haul to pick up the stuff and bring it back with you and make many stops at many nice hotels along the way.
Title: Re: Another Insta-collection on eBay Post by: Sauza12 on February 09, 2013, 12:14:00 AM I get a huge rush out of buying random boxes of games and then going through them to discover what I got. Of course, those are usually $20 boxes from garage sales and flea markets, not half a million dollars + boxes.
